        "availabilityRequest": {
            "$id": 2,
            "segments": {
                "$id": 3,
                "$values": [
                    {
                        "$id": 4,
                        "destination": "KIH-Kish-all",
                        "origin": "THR-Tehran-all",
                        "departureDateTime": "2021-12-02T00:00:00.000Z",
                        "uniqueIndex": 0
                    }
                ]
            },
            "passengers": {
                "$id": 5,
                "$values": [
                    {
                        "$id": 6,
                        "type": 1,
                        "quantity": 1,
                        "optionalServices": {
                            "$id": 7,
                            "$values": []
                        }
                    }
                ]
            },
            "travelDetails": {
                "$id": 8,
                "cabinType": 1,
                "airTripType": 1,
                "stopQuantityType": 3,
                "pricingSourceType": 3
            },
            "availabilityType": 0
        },
        "minRange": 10,
        "maxRange": 10
    }
}
x = requests.post(url, data=data)
print(x.text)

But I don't receive the right information from the server.

Solution

    1. you need to post an application/json request so use the json parameter for requests.post()

    2. the api you're communicating with seems to require some sort of authentication, try to transplant the session cookie with the cookies parameter

      data = {...}
cookies = {"_session": "1ac[..]"}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, cookies=cookies)
